I want to return to this at some point, but mention of (natural) animal death brought up too many emotions for me to finish the book at this moment

It always means a lot to me to read  a book where the author has the same understanding about animals as I do. Perfect little book to read the week before I start vet school!

I really enjoyed this memoir about how different animals in her life have taught her and what she has learned. I did tear up while I was reading this. I also am glad that I learned the term lifetime pets. I have had four in my life already.
